It's not really that big of an invasion of privacy since we are only going to work off of aggregate data. We will have the raw data, but only present it or look at it in terms of a histogram of the times of day when members are online, grouped by rank.
And it's being done for their own good, to improve our ability to reactively schedule events at the times that our players most frequently play.
Besides, I'm sure in a large guild there's
someone with an addon (custom or otherwise) that is already saving this data. We're just adding one very above-board use case. Those who want to opt out can certainly make themselves appear offline and no amount of scripting can detect them.
